My wife is a fundie from a fundie family. Doesn't seem to strain our marriage either. "Most" people are theists WW. You're likely to be surrounded by them through sheer force of numbers. Have you ever wondered whether or not the good relations you share with them might have something to do with simply being assumed to be part of the fold, in some way or another? At the very least "well, he hasn't found god yet, poor little guy, but someday he will, and he seems nice". That shit is unbearably insulting to me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
